    Would City take two draws this week?

    Hit the thumbs.

    Benfica 0-1 Liverpool

    Alisson comes out confidently to claim an in-swinging free kick from Alex Grimaldo. Had Alisson stayed on his line there was about 50* Benfica players offside anyway.

    *possible exaggeration.

    This is a training-ground exercise of forwards v defence with Manchester City acting as the forwards.

    Suspect this is panning out exactly as Manchester City and Pep Guardiola thought it might. Push and probe with patience while confronted with the traditional red and white wall of Atletico Madrid defiance.

    Kevin de Bruyne with the cross, too much on it and it's bread and butter for Jan Oblak.

    Andy Robertson's cross is just a whisker over Mo Salah's head. Had the Liverpool forward been able to connect that was goal number two.

    The Atletico back five are just not moving. There are no gaps at all and City are having to force it. They are well drilled but it is incredibly boring to watch.

    Approaching the half hour mark, City moving it side to side but Atletico are tracking them all the way and will defend like this all night.

    Pep Guardiola just had another go at John Stones.

    This time John Stones had a go back and explained why he wasn't doing what his manager was asking of him.

    Benfica 0-1 Liverpool

    Benfica do break in numbers when they get the opportunity and there's a brief moment of concern for Liverpool but Alex Grimaldo's ball into the box deflects off Trent Alexander-Arnold and loops into Alisson's hands.

    I don't see how Atletico can win this game playing like this for the whole of the game. Have they just come to try and nick something to take home to Madrid?

    Non League quality football from the current champions of Spain, Joe.

    Joe: It's genuinely an embarrassment the way Atleti approach football. All that talent and they play barely non-league quality football.

    Man City 0-0 Atletico Madrid

    City's crossing isn't working, everytime they've put a ball into the box it's been headed away.

    They need to explore different avenues here.

  18. GREAT SAVE!published at 20:27 British Summer Time 5 April 2022

    Benfica 0-1 Liverpool

    Another chance for Liverpool as Naby Keita plays a lovely weighted ball forward and Luis Diaz is able to break clear of the defence, he tries to flick the ball over Odysseas Vlachodimos but the Benfica goalkeeper saves.

    Diego Simeone is gesticulating frantically as his side look to launch a counter.

    Joao Felix leads the charge but then his pass towards Renan Lodi is so loose and City win it back.

    Benfica 0-1 Liverpool

    A promising moment for Benfica as the ball is flicked on and Everton is able to run into space on the left. He gets into the box with Virgil van Dijk unable to get across quickly enough but sends his shot into the sidenetting. Should have done better really.
